Well, it looks like we’ve made it! Exam season is officially over and in my opinion, it’s time to celebrate. Here is my list of the top 5 things to do over the holidays – I personally am trying check everything off.
Number One: Do Nothing
Firsts thing’s first: after a month packed with energy drinks, little sleep and too many study notes, your body and mind are likely pretty stressed. The best thing to do? Do nothing. Take a day or two out of the holiday fun to catch up on your favourite Netflix shows, social media, news, etc., without any agenda or obligations.

Number Two: Enjoy the Christmas lights
The second best thing to do over the holidays? In my opinion, it’s enjoying the Christmas lights! While you can go to the movies, go shopping, or do any number of relaxing things which are available year-round, Christmas lights are only up for one month, and can actually be incredibly beautiful if you take the time to enjoy them.
Number Three: Play snow-sports
Even though winter is here in Canada for the better part of the year, we’re often too busy to take a day to enjoy some snow sports. Whether you’re into snowboarding, skiing, or tobagonning, snow sports are a great way to get some fresh air, physical activity, and enjoy winter in general.
Number Four: Watch Christmas classics
What better way to relax than to watch Christmas classics while drinking glass after glass of (non-alcoholic) eggnog? My favourites include Elf, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Jack Frost, and of course, Home Alone.
Number Five: Do Some Holiday Baking
Nothing says the holidays like baking – baking which can also double as a cheap and relatively easy gift for a loved one.
And there you have it! If you have any suggestions for your top 5 things to do during the break, tweet me at @KaylaRPerry and I’ll be sure to give you and your suggestion a shoutout!
